Post by bunniefuu »

ASH: I'm sure we'll be off of this mountain soon!

PIKACHU: [HAPPY]

DAWN: I think so, too!

BROCK: Let's see. Good! Looks like there's a pretty big town

farther down this path!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Aww! I guess Piplup wants to lead us there!

BROCK: That's great! Wonder what town it is?

ASH: [SURPRISED]

MAGNEZONE: [ANGRY]

ASH: [SHOCKED] PIPLUP: [SCARED]

ASH: Man, that was a shock

DAWN: Yeah! What was that?

BROCK: That was a Magnezone!

ASH: Magnezone?

POKEDEX: Magnezone. The Magnet Area Pokémon. It evolves from

Magneton in certain magnetic areas and emits energy from each

of its three magnets.

DAWN: Hey, guys? It looks like Magnezone's heading

toward that town!

BROCK: That's a recipe for disaster!

ASH: Let's go! PIKACHU: [AGREEMENT]

NARRATOR: As their trek toward Daybreak Town and Dawn's next

Pokémon Contest continues, a close encounter with a Magnezone

in the forest has our heroes scurrying!

It's about you It's about me

It's about hope It's about dreams

It's about friends that work together

To claim their destiny

It's about reaching for the skies Pokemon!

Given the courage And willing to try

It's about never giving up So hold your head up

And we will carry on...Sinnoh league victors

Pokemon!

FERALIGATR: [STUNNED]

BOY A: Feraligatr, no! Please wake up! Please wake up!

ASH: Hey, what happened?

BOY A: See, this Magnezone just came out of nowhere and knocked

out my Feraligatr!

DAWN: Bet it's the same one!

PIPLUP: [ANGRY]

BROCK: It's not hurt badly.

BROCK: Once it wakes up, feed it this Oran Berry, and take it to

a Pokémon Center. It'll be fine!

BROCK: You can do it!

BOY A: Wow, thank you!

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED]

ASH: Them, too?

GIRL A: Snorlax, you've got to get better, please?

SNORLAX: [STUNNED]

BOY B: Bayleef, Bayleef, wake up!

BAYLEEF: [STUNNED]

ASH: Were you att*cked by a Magnezone, too?

GIRL A: That's right! Magnezone just swooped in and

took my Snorlax down!

BROCK: Here, have it eat this.

BROCK: One for Bayleef, too!

ASH: [SURPRISED]

ASH: Hey, it's Officer Jenny!

BROCK: Officer Jenny's here?

DAWN: Let's talk to her!

BROCK: Yeah!

ASH: Officer Jenny, wait up, please!

DAWN: What's going on here?

JENNY: Who are you?

- ASH: I'm Ash! - DAWN: I'm Dawn!

BROCK: And I'm Brock!

BROCK: Your eyes.gorgeous.like limpid pools of water from a

babbling brook! Let me draw closer so I can have a good

look! Because when it comes to the beauty of Officer Jenny,

I always get good and shook!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: Shake me, break me!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

ASH: Uh.Officer Jenny, what in the world is going on here?

JENNY: Well, you see, a Magnezone suddenly appeared in

town, attacking Pokémon left and right for no reason!

DAWN: It did the exact same thing to us as well!

MAGNEZONE: [ROAR]

ASH: Officer Jenny, look out!

MAGNEZONE: [EXERTION]

ASH: It's trying to wreck everything!

JENNY: All right, hold it right there!

ASH: Come on!

BROCK: Right! MAGNEZONE: [EXERTION]

ASH: Jenny, who's Magnezone's Trainer, do you know?

JENNY: No one! Magnezone's a wild Pokémon!

ASH: Hey, did we lose it?

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

DAWN: It's got to be around here somewhere.

ASH: Whoa, was that it?

METAGROSS: [ANGRY]

DAWN: No way!

BROCK: Yeah, that's a Metagross!

ASH: Here it comes!

BROCK: Look out!

ASH: Now we've got to deal with a Metagross!

DAWN: Metagross, let's see ...

POKEDEX: Metagross. The Iron Leg Pokémon, and the evolved form of

Metang. Metagross has four legs and uses many powerful moves.

JENNY: It was hard enough having to deal with Magnezone!

What's going on here?

MAGNEZONE: [EXERTION]

METAGROSS: [EXERTION]

MAGNEZONE: [BATTLING]

ASH: [SHOCKED]

MAGNEZONE: [SONIC BOOM MOVE]

BROCK: That's Sonic Boom!

METAGROSS: [METAL CLAW MOVE]

BROCK: Wow, and that's Metal Claw!

METAGROSS MAGNEZONE: [BATTLING]

DAWN: Both of them are terrifying!

JENNY: This town will be destroyed if they keep it up!

ASH: Then we've got to stop them!

ASH: Monferno, let's go!

MONFERNO: [APPEARING]

MAGNEZONE: [THREATENING]

DAWN: Ash, stay safe! Be careful!

PIKACHU: [CONCERNED]

ASH: Sure! Just leave it to me!

ASH: Now, Monferno! Use Flamethrower!

MONFERNO: [FLAMETHROWER MOVE]

MAGNEZONE: [IMPACT]

ASH: All right! It's working!

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

MONFERNO: [PAINED]

ASH: Monferno, no!

ASH: Quick, Mach Punch!

MONFERNO: [MACH PUNCH MOVE]

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

MONFERNO: [PAINED]

ASH: Are you all right, Monferno?

MONFERNO: [FRUSTRATED]

DAWN: We've got to do something!

PIPLUP: [DETERMINED]

DAWN: Mamoswine, help us out!

PIPLUP: [SHOCKED] / [DISAPPOINTED]

MAMOSWINE: [APPEARING]

DAWN: Here it comes ... Take Down!

MAMOSWINE: [TAKE DOWN MOVE]

MAGNEZONE: [BATTLING]

DAWN: Use Hidden Power!

MAMOSWINE: [HIDDEN POWER MOVE]

DAWN: Mamoswine! Are you all right?

BROCK: Now it's my turn! Dear Jenny, the time has finally come

for you to watch me work!

BROCK: Happiny! You're up! Let's go!

HAPPINY: [APPEARING]

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

BROCK: Take care of this!

HAPPINY: [EXERTION]

METAGROSS: [SHOCKED]

JENNY: Wow, Brock's amazing!

ASH: Yeah, and so is Happiny!

PIKACHU: [EXCITED]

BROCK: Thanks, Jenny! Yes, my Happiny saved the day. It took

care of Metagross ...but in a different way, well, I could

take care of you, too, Jenny! And once you're in my arms,

you'll feel taken care of like never before!

HAPPINY: [SCARED]

HAPPINY: [DELIGHTED]

DAWN: Oh no! Not even Happiny could help!

MAGNEZONE: [BATTLING]

JESSIE: No better friend to a slice of buttered toast ...

JAMES: Than a generous slathering of jam.

MEOWTH: Best friends! Joined together and ready for a trip

down the hatch!

JAMES: Hunger itch? It's the perfect scratch!

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

JESSIE: My toast is in free flight!

MEOWTH: Us too, genius!

JAMES: Hey, no fair! My hunger itch is at a fever pitch, whilst

I've not had a morsel!

MAGNEZONE: [ATTACK]

JESSIE: You can't trust your best friend!

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

JENNY: I'm sure there's never been a Magnezone or a Metagross

in this town before!

DAWN: Magnezone att*cked us on the mountain trail.

BROCK: The mountain.

ASH: Maybe there's something up on the mountain!

BROCK: Dear Jenny! Leave everything to me. I'll sort it

out if it's the last thing I do!

DAWN: That's great. So how are you going to do that?

BROCK: First, we use electricity to lure them to the mountain!

JENNY: Good idea! No doubt some Electric-type moves will keep

Magnezone and Metagross focused where we want!

ASH: Yeah! What do you say, buddy?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

DAWN: And we're ready, too!

DAWN: Pachirisu will give us a hand!

ASH: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!

DAWN: Pachirisu! Discharge!

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

BROCK: I thought that would bring those two here!

ASH: You're right!

BROCK: So, let's stick to our plan.

ASH: Okay! Pikachu and Pachirisu, let's head

towards the mountain!

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PACHIRISU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

MAGNEZONE: [FOCUSED]

ASH: Good work, Pikachu!

DAWN: Keep it up, Pachirisu!

ASH: Awesome! Just a little further!

PIKACHU: [THUNDERBOLT MOVE]

BROCK: [SHOCKED]

ASH: What was that?

JESSIE: What was, is now, and ever shall be!

JAMES: For you, that means trouble, just you wait and see!

- JESSIE: On the wind! - JAMES: Past the stars!

MEOWTH: Whoop-dee-dee!

JESSIE: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!

JAMES: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!

JESSIE: A rose by any other name's just as sweet!

JAMES: When everything's worse, our work is complete

- JESSIE: Jessie! - JAMES: And it's James!

MEOWTH: Meowth, that's a name!

JESSIE: Putting the do-gooders in their place!

JAMES: We're Team Rocket!

JESSIE: And we're in your face!

ASH: Team Rocket?

DAWN: With evil plans, no doubt!

JESSIE: Wrong!

MEOWTH: We got wronged, and we're ticked!

JAMES: That Electric and Steel stinker stole away

our toast and jam!

JESSIE: And twice we were tinkered with! Twice! One time,

shame on you, but twice, shame on us!

MEOWTH: Word up! So it's time for a little Magnezone and

Metagross payback!

BROCK: I know! Meowth could talk to them and ask them why they're

both so upset. JENNY: [SHOCKED]

MEOWTH: Mug to mug?

JESSIE: Are you saying there's a pattern at work here?

ASH: Yeah! Both of them are making a mess in town!

JESSIE: Time out! Say we get to the bottom of this mess.

Then, if we apply a little diplomacy, we could end up with

twin titans for Team Rocket!

MEOWTH: Wow! Sound logic!

JAMES: And it came from you! "Twin titans" has a nice ring!

MEOWTH: It's a deal, Twerps!

I'll go have a powwow with those two punks and shake them down!

METAGROSS: [FOCUSED]

BROCK: Of course ...can we trust them?

MEOWTH: Yoohoo! I was hoping I could pick your brains and ask

why you're on the warpath, dig? See, I've got a little bet with

my buddies in the balloon here.

MAGNEZONE: [ANNOYED]

METAGROSS: [ANNOYED]

MEOWTH: Stop with the metal mumbling and make sense!

MAGNEZONE: [ANNOYED]

ASH: Hey! What're they saying?

JESSIE: It would help if you cleared the air.

MEOWTH: I couldn't cop a crumb of that mumbo-jumbo!

JESSIE: Mumbo-jumbo?

MEOWTH: They're mad, all right. But it's gobbledygook!

BROCK: Even Meowth can't help!

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

JESSIE: Rejected by rabble-rousers!

BROCK: Well, that's that. So, let's finish taking them to the

mountain. At least the town will be safe!

ASH: Got it! Pikachu, ready? PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

JESSIE: Heads up! Soon as we figure out their problem, we'll

go therapeutic on them! Then take the twins for our trouble!

JAMES: Check!

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

CRISPIN: Magnezone and Metagross! There you two are!

ASH: Hi! We're trying to figure out what's with

this Magnezone and Metagross.

JENNY: Who are you?

CRISPIN: Pleased to meet you! My name's Crispin.

My job is to patrol this mountain. I'm at your service!

CRISPIN: The basin is full now.

CRISPIN: But this is the exception, since it's

usually quite empty!

CRISPIN: Magnezone and Metagross used to battle quite a bit here.

They would hurl themselves at each other like wrestlers!

BROCK: That sounds intense!

CRISPIN: It is! This mountain is full of locations that

occasionally give off strange magnetic energy!

CRISPIN: That energy gets trapped in their bodies,

and then it all needs to be released! So they battle each

other as a way of doing just that.

ASH: Wow!

CRISPIN: However, as soon as the basin filled up with water a few

days ago, the two of them simply disappeared.

CRISPIN: The thing is, I worry ...if they fly into town with

all that trapped energy, they could very well cause trouble,

so I went looking!

JENNY: I'm afraid it's already been happening!

DAWN: It seems to me the trick is for someone

to drain this basin!

CRISPIN: Yeah! They could battle here and not have

to go anywhere else!

JESSIE: While Twerps tarry, we save the day!

JAMES: So a-draining we will go!

Although not mandatory, one hopes they'll show their thanks

by joining our team.

MEOWTH: First, we've got a job to do! Whatever reason that pool

is pooling, we'll clean up the drink, and we ain't fooling!

BROCK: There must be an explanation why the basin's so

full! I suggest, before we do anything,

we figure that out first.

JESSIE: Let go! I can't breathe!

ASH: Pikachu and Pachirisu! Do you think you could keep those

two hanging around a little while longer, please?

PIKACHU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PACHIRISU: [AFFIRMATIVE]

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

MAGNEZONE: [FOCUSED]

CRISPIN: I know there have been some major rainstorms this past

week, but they couldn't have caused all this!

ASH: Then that means water must be coming in

from somewhere else!

CRISPIN: Right!

PIPLUP: [CURIOUS] / [INSISTENT]

DAWN: A stream!

BROCK: Let's follow it!

ASH: Yeah!

BROCK: There's your reason!

That boulder's blocking the river's water flow!

DAWN: Which means the overflow's flooding out the basin!

CRISPIN: We've got to move that boulder, quick!

JESSIE: Out of the way, nudniks!

CRISPIN: [SURPRISED]

JESSIE: Move your sorry selves, and let the experts handle your

toughest water problems!

MEOWTH: Time for rock liftoff!

JAMES: Danger! Too much heft!

JESSIE: Well, show them what's left!

BROCK: Dear Jenny ...

BROCK: I beg you, please leave this to me!

JENNY: Uh, well ...

BROCK: Croagunk, come out! We need you!

CROAGUNK: [CROAKING]

BROCK: All right. Use Brick Break on that rock!

CROAGUNK: [BRICK BREAK MOVE]

JENNY: Amazing!

BROCK: Of course! That's what happens when you leave it to me!

JENNY: Croagunk, you were great!

ASH: All right! So that takes care of that river flow!

DAWN: Now for the water.

JESSIE: Which means now for Team Rocket!

JAMES: It hardly seems right to have a primed

pump without a gig!

MEOWTH: Check this rig!

MEOWTH: We've got contact!

JAMES: Juice!

ASH: That motor sounds like this is going to take a while.

DAWN: Maybe we could dig a tunnel underneath the basin.

Then the water would drain right out!

BROCK: Of course! Why not freeze the water instead?

JENNY: Freeze it?[CONFUSED]

DAWN: How would that work?

BROCK: Well, then we can just toss it! Hey, Dawn, do you think

Buneary can handle this?

DAWN: You've got it!

DAWN: Buneary, go!

BUNEARY: [APPEARING]

DAWN: All right, Buneary, Ice Beam!

BUNEARY: [ICE BEAM MOVE]

JENNY: Wow! Excellent!

BROCK: Happiny, now! You're up next!

HAPPINY: [APPEARING]

HAPPINY: [EXERTION]

DAWN: Wow! Happiny, way to go!

HAPPINY: [EXCITED]

JESSIE: I'm getting ice-sick!

BROCK: Great work, Happiny! Now toss it into the valley!

HAPPINY: [AFFIRMATIVE]

JESSIE: You can't just throw us away like a used swizzle stick!

JAMES: Recycle utensils!

MEOWTH: Don't be mean, think green!

HAPPINY: [EXERTION]

PIKACHU: [ATTACK]

ASH: Pikachu, Pachirisu!

ASH: That's enough! Thanks, you two!

PIKACHU: [TIRED]

DAWN: Great job! You were awesome!

ASH: You gave it your all!

PIKACHU: [PLEASED] PACHIRISU: [PLEASED]

ASH: Hey, Magnezone, Metagross!

You can battle as much as you like now, so don't worry!

METAGROSS: [THANKFUL]

MAGNEZONE: [BATTLING]

ASH: Wow, check out that power!

DAWN: Yeah, they're something!

JENNY: As long as they're battling here, they can do

whatever they like!

MAGNEZONE METAGROSS: [BATTLING]

JESSIE: Look, Meowth, you know what to do!

Talk them into joining!

MEOWTH: Right! It's a gift!

MEOWTH: Excuse me! How about taking a pause for the cause and

hearing me out?

MEOWTH: I know the evidence! I know the way it looks!

It appears those Twerps fixed everything that was going wrong

for you, but truth be told, it was us!

MEOWTH: We gave them Twerpies the wisdom and courage to step

up to the old plate!

MEOWTH: And since it was Team Rocket solving all of your

problemos and making it a bright sunshiny day, I think it's only

fitting that you should join Team Rocket!

JESSIE: Excellent! Do you think they're in?

JAMES: I hope you crossed your T's and dotted your I's!

MEOWTH: Good! They bought the jive! The dream's alive!

MAGNEZONE: [ATTACK]

METAGROSS: [ATTACK]

JAMES: Drat! And on top of it all, I still haven't enjoyed one

taste of my toast and jam!

JESSIE: You and your stomach. You're a pathetic pair!

MEOWTH: I thought I was so slick! And what do we we get?

JESSIE: We're blasting off again!

JENNY: Finally! It looks like everything's back to normal!

I think I'll head back into town now, calm everybody down!

CRISPIN: Thank you for a great job!

METAGROSS: [BATTLING]

ASH: Man! I just can't wait a second longer!

ASH: Gible, I choose you!

GIBLE: [APPEARING]

ASH: Aww, not again! Hey! Knock it off!

ASH: Gible, Draco Meteor, let's go!

GIBLE: [DRACO METEOR MOVE]

PIPLUP: [PAINED]

PIPLUP: [CONFUSED]

MAGNEZONE: [THREATENING]

PIPLUP: [SCARED]

DAWN: Piplup! Be careful, okay?

ASH: This is getting kind of old! Gible, stop!

PIPLUP: [SCARED]

NARRATOR: And so, thanks to our heroes, Magnezone and Metagross

are back home, and happily battling!

NARRATOR: And yes, Daybreak Town and Dawn's next contest are

closer than ever, so stay tuned!
